Generally Returning to Work and No
Further Trouble is Expected.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-There was not big
rush of strikers to get back to work today,
for the reason that many Of the companies
having piers along the river front refused
point blank to take back the old hands. The
Harlem Railroad and the New York City
and Northern Pennsylvania companies are
making the most stubborn resistance against
taking back the strikers, and have given or
ders that none of the new hands shall be
turned away as long as they are competent
to do the work. On the other hand, at some
piers, the strikers have gone back in a body,
while at many others the old hands are be-
ing taken back quietly and individually.
At the Clyde line docks many Of the old
men are back, but not as union men. The
same rule is adopted at the Mallory and
Ward lines.
At the Baltimore & Ohio dock, at Pier 1S,
East River, none but Italians are at work,
the agent having given orders that none of
The strikers be given work.
Thomas Hogan a. Sons, one of the largest
firms of stevedOres in this city, have taken
500 strikers back at full rates. On any Of
the piers where the order has been given not
TO employ strikers or recognize the union,
many regular 'longshoremen have found EN-
ployment, but it Is on the representation
that they are not connected with the union.
The men go where they are not known to
get work, and this accounts for the rapid dis
appearance Of Italians and other foreigners
from the river front during the past few
days.
An attempt to cause trouble among the
firemen and coal-passers on some Of the
coastwise lines yesterday and the day previ-
GUS, proved a failure. The firemen ON the
Clyde line steamer Yemassee left their YES
sci as the whistle was blowing for the boat
to leave the dock. Men from two other ships
were promptly put on board, and the delay
was not more than one hour. On the Mallo-
ry dock four firemen quit work on the Ca
rondelet.

FAST TALKERs.
Congressman Who Keep the stenog-
raphers Hard at II.

A new member from the West made a
speech the other day, and almost took away
the breath of the official stenographers In the
House. He talked in mOnosyllables, and at
the rate Of about 200 words a minute. Ordi-
narily, Representatives speak about 225
words minute. Once in great while man
appears in Congress who rattles oil 800
words in sixty seconds, and he creates pan
ic among the stenographers. When Belford,
Of Colorado. was in the House he used TO
make the Official reporters rush occasionally,
His language was terse and well spoken, but
he rOved around like wild man. He began
10 walk as soon as he began talking, and
would go over among the Democrats, a hun
dred feet from his seat, and the sten0graph-
er reporting him wOui1 follow him around
In his peregTinations, writing as he walked.
There Is a tradition among the Ofncial re-
pOrters of a member who served few years
ago. and who made enough trouble TO last the
force a generation. He spoke almost 300
words a minute. and walked constantly, run
ming up and down aisles waving his arms and
yelling at the top Of his voice, then changing
to monotones. When he got up to talk there
was a sigh and signal to the most expert
man to take him." Then there would be
race between the talker and the reporter,
the latter rushing at the heels Of the speaker
like mad, and frequently one colhdlng with
the other in the most ludicrous manner.
Stenographers much prefer to report men
who use good language. One employing
large words and good grammar can be better
reported II he speaks 200 words a minute
than the one using small words and bad
grammar who speaks only half as many
words 10 the minute. Mr. Devine, one Of the
official reporters Of the House, writes with
the most perfect precision $50 words min
ute, but this Is where the speaker Is regular
and distinct and employs the best language
Sometimes a stenOgrapher. expert though he
may be, makes failure of reporting a man
who mutters only 100 words a minute There
are some irving cases In the House now
Judge Reagan, Of Texas, who is trying TO get
Senator Maxey's seat, is the worst.-Wash-

POLITICAL GRIMES IN TEXAS.
Ex-Governor ireland Denies the
Stories of Intimidation In WASH
ington County.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 14.-Ex-Governor
Ireland of Texas, accompanied by twenty
eight citizens of Washington county, Texas,

Washington, ID. c., where he and his COM
panions will appear before the Senate COM

Governor Ireland says that at the close of

three of them were subsequently lynched
The others fled the county for fear Of being
similarly treated, and brought charges
against the Democrats of the county that
they were driven out. The Ex-Governor
says: "The whole history Of those men is a
pure fabrication. Every statement they
have made to show that they were the OBJ
jects of p0lical persecution Is absolutely
false and that will be easy to prove by all
these witnesses. They were not driven from
the county. but left there of their free will

souIanger's early Life.


Gen. Boulanger's mother was an English
woman who, when she married NJ. Boulan-

girl scarce out Of her teens. At that period
M. Boulanger was an GU0ue, that is to say
solicitor, at Rennes, But shortly after his
marriage he decided to sell his practice and
migrated to Nantes, where he became an In
spector in the service Of the Compagnie
dAssurances la Bretagne. 1t was at Nantes

born, and those who remember the mother
speak OF the striking resemblance which her
distinguished son bears to her as she then
was. Without being actually poor, the B0u-
hangers were certainly far from rich. There

dent occurred on the toboggan slide this eve
